Speeding Clunes dropped by Churchill Insurance

Share via

Martin Clunes has been dropped from the advertising campaign of Churchill car
insurance after being disqualified from driving.

The decision was taken after the star of Doc Martin and Men Behaving
Badly told the company that he had accumulated 12 points on his licence
for speeding offences and had been banned by magistrates. It was not clear
where the offences happened or how fast Clunes, 50, was travelling. During a
2004 appearance on the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car feature on the BBC’s Top
Gear, Clunes was described as an “incredibly brave” driver with “no
experience of track driving”.
